The Flying Canoe

Yoto Says: Jump on board ‘The Flying Canoe’ and explore the sounds of Kiribati as you help Nei Kinoia become a magic spinner. Nei Kinoia comes from a long line of Magic Spinners, but on the night she was supposed to become one herself, she got distracted singing in the Frangipani tree. Now she needs your help to turn back time and trick the spirits of Neiko into giving her their blessing to join her ancestors in spinning magic! The Flying Canoe' is an interactive audio experience for families to do together that transports them to the islands of Kiribati. Featuring an oceanic soundscape that includes traditional Kiribati songs, families will transform their lounge room into a world of myth and wonder. Written by Marita Davies and featuring performances and artwork by artists from the Kiribati diaspora, ‘The Flying Canoe’ is the follow up work to Threshold's internationally acclaimed ‘Mountain Goat Mountain’. So jump on board ‘The Flying Canoe’ and see the world differently on Island time. The Flying Canoe is designed for the whole family to enjoy together. We encourage you to find a time when everyone in your family can be together without distraction. To get the most out of this interactive audio experience, you will need: Your family, some ribbon or string, a bed sheet and four things with handles (a wooden spoon, tennis racquet or fly swat for example!) 55 min Ages 3-12
